In the [Eb]year of '39 assembled [Fm]here the Volunteers

In the [Db]days when [Ab]lands were [Eb]few

Here the [Fm]ship sailed [Fm7/Eb]out into the [Db]blue and sunny morn

The [Ebsus4]sweetest [Eb]sign ever [Ab]seen.

 

And the [Eb]night followed day

And the [Edim]story tellers say

That the [Fm]score brave souls [Bbm]inside

For [Ab]many a lonely day sailed [Eb]across the milky seas

[Db]Ne'er looked [Fm]back,

[Db]never [Eb]feared, [Db]never [Eb]cried

 

Don't you [Ab]hear my call though you're [Db]many years [Ab]away

Don't you [Ab]hear me calling [Eb]you

Write your [Ab]letters [C/G]in the [Fm]sand

[Eb]For the [Db]day I [Ab]take your [Bbm]hand

In the [Ab/C]land [Db]that our [Eb]grandchildren [Ab]knew

In the [Eb]year of '39 came a [Fm]ship in from the blue

The [Db]Volunteers came [Ab]home that [Eb]day

And they [Fm]bring good [Fm7/Eb]news of a [Db]world so newly born

Though their [Ebsus4]hearts so [Eb]heavily [Ab]weigh

For the [Eb]earth is old and grey,

Little [Edim]darling we'll away

But my [Fm]love this cannot [Bbm]be

For so [Ab]many years have gone though I'm [Eb]older but a year

Your [Db]mother's [Fm]eyes [Db]from your [Eb]eyes [Db]cry to [Eb]me.

 

Don't you [Ab]hear my call though you're [Db]many years [Ab]away

Don't you [Ab]hear me calling [Eb]you

Write your [Ab]letters [C/G]in the [Fm]sand

[Eb]For the [Db]day I [Ab]take your [Bbm]hand

In the [Ab/C]land [Db]that our [Eb]grandchildren [Ab]knew[Eb]

 

Don't you [Ab]hear my call

Though you're [Db]many years [Ab]away

Don't you [Ab]hear me calling [Eb]you

All your [Ab]letters [C/G]in the [Fm]sand

[Eb]Cannot [Db]heal me [Ab]like your [Bbm]hand

 

For my [Fm]life

Still [Eb]ahead

[N.C.]Pity Me.
